Recipe Book Refined

Search the vanilla recipe book and creative inventory in several languages at once – plus a favourites tab, craftable recipes first and 3×3 recipes in your inventory.

Search the vanilla recipe book and the creative inventory in several languages at once – plus many quality-of-life improvements. Client-side only – works on any server, nothing needed server-side.

For players who want a better recipe book without leaving the vanilla look.

Features

Search

  • Search in several languages at once – playing in German but only know “crafting table”? Just type it.
  • The same search box also finds recipes that use the item as an ingredient
  • Works in the recipe book and in the creative inventory
  • Remembers your search text across menus

Recipe book

  • Craftable recipes first (order adjustable)
  • 3×3 recipes in your inventory, marked with a vanilla-style brown frame
  • Favourites tab – middle-click a recipe to add it
  • Book beside the menu, the menu stays centred
  • Turn pages with the mouse wheel

Options

  • Recipe book starts closed
  • Hide the recipe book button
  • Hide recipe unlock notifications

All recipes switch

  • Switch between your normal recipe progress and all recipes right from the settings
  • Needs the companion datapack All Recipes Toggle on the server

Every feature can be switched on or off in the settings.

Settings

Needs Cloth Config. Open them by right-clicking the recipe book button, with a key (Controls → Recipe Book Refined) or via Mod Menu (optional). Without Cloth Config the mod runs with default settings.

Requirements

  • Minecraft 26.3, Fabric Loader 0.19.5+, Java 25
  • Fabric API 0.164.0+
  • Cloth Config 26.3.159+ (installed automatically by the CurseForge app)
  • Mod Menu 21.0.0+ (optional)

Fabric only, Minecraft 26.3. No backports planned.

Languages

English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Polish, Chinese (Simplified).

For server admins

Each /trigger of the datapack shows up as a grey line in the chat of other operators and in the server log. Operators with this mod don't see these lines. Otherwise:

  • /gamerule log_admin_commands false – no lines in the server log
  • /gamerule send_command_feedback false – no lines in the chat, but also hides all other command feedback

AI disclosure

The code and the translations were written with an AI model (Claude). The idea, design, all decisions and the in-game testing are by the author. The icon was also created with AI (Claude).

I make small mods and datapacks that keep the vanilla feel. Feedback and bug reports welcome in the comments
